With the last three years marked by pandemic lockdowns and homeschooling as well as ongoing Covid uncertainty, this year’s Year 12 group has done it a bit tough as they make their way towards the HSC.

A big night ahead for these Year 12 graduates at the St Paul’s Catholic College Year 12 formal at the Manly Pacific hotel in Manly.

So when it came to finally letting their hair down the students — many with their dates — from the school on North Head, looked fantastic as they filed into the function room at the beachfront hotel on Thursday night for a well deserved party.

Year 12 class of 2022, we salute you.
